Falcon’s Eye Theatre is set to bring laughter and high-energy comedy to the Harris Center for the Arts with its production of A Flea in Her Ear, opening this Friday as Folsom Lake College’s talented drama department resumes its season.
Known for its inventive adaptations, Falcon’s Eye presents this fresh take on Georges Feydeau’s classic French farce, reimagined by playwright David Ives. Audiences can expect an evening filled with slapstick humor, mistaken identities, and hilariously intricate misunderstandings.
Set in Paris at the turn of the century, the story centers around Raymonde, a wife convinced her husband, Victor, is having an affair. Her plan to catch him in the act sets off a whirlwind of chaos involving an anxious hotel porter, a notorious womanizer who resembles Victor, and a parade of quirky characters entangled at the Frisky Puss Hotel. With its rapid-fire dialogue and fast-paced action, A Flea in Her Ear promises to deliver an uproarious spectacle of comedic timing and wit.
